AI Chatbot Development for Hospitality
An AI chatbot built for hospitality businesses.
A guest comparing venues at 11pm has three questions and no patience. If your site cannot answer them, they book somewhere that could. A site assistant answers availability, menu, accessibility, and policy questions instantly and carries the guest through to a confirmed booking.
Built by VelvoAI, an independent AI systems studio. One engineer scopes and writes every system.

What this handles for hospitality businesses
Guests book at the moment they decide, not during your office hours.
- Answer availability and pricing questions with a live check against your system
- Take bookings and modifications directly in the chat without a form
- Handle dietary, accessibility, parking, and pet policy questions from your real policies
- Answer in the guest's own language automatically for international enquiries
Late-night browsers converted into confirmed bookings instead of unanswered enquiry forms.
How it runs
Day to day for hospitality businesses
Two things make a venue assistant different from a generic widget. The FSA's expectation for online allergen information is that it sits no more than one click away, which a grounded assistant meets more convincingly than a PDF menu does — provided it reads the venue's own allergen sheet back verbatim and never reasons about it. The second is less comfortable: on EcomBack's 2025 count, restaurants are the most-sued sector in the US for website accessibility, taking roughly a third of all filings, and about a quarter of those suits landed on sites that had already installed an accessibility widget. So the widget has to be genuinely operable rather than overlaid.
- S.01The venue's maintained allergen matrix, quoted rather than interpreted
- S.02Access Collins, where large-party and private-hire enquiries route to a form rather than the booking API
- S.03A coded dietary flag written to the booking instead of a verbatim health note
- S.04WCAG 2.1 AA on the widget itself, tested with a keyboard and a screen reader

AI Chatbot Development for Hospitality — questions
01Can it take a booking or only answer questions?
Both. Where your reservation platform exposes an API it completes the booking and confirms it in the conversation. Otherwise it captures the request and confirms once your system accepts it.
02How does it handle special requests?
It captures them verbatim and attaches them to the booking, flagging anything needing confirmation — a large party, an accessibility requirement, a specific allergy — for a person to acknowledge rather than promising on your behalf.
